The rotary broach tool holder positions the broach at a one degree angle to the part. The broach rotates with the part, but because it is at an angle, it cuts the part one corner at a time. Rotary broaches will cut squares, hexes and more. The best way to visualize it is to watch the video at slatertools.com. Yes, rotary broaching is different than the rotating drill bits.

The drills are very cool. I have been thinking seriously of expanding my Make article to a full pamphlet on all the methods of making square and polygonal holes. Someday... The rotary broaches are different than the watts drills in function. Watts drills are true drills where the rotary broaches are, well, more broachlike.
